Neural correlates of child temperament: The role of brain network connectivity in psychopathology risk.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early temperament has been shown to predict socioemotional outcomes, but its neural correlates are not yet fully understood. In the current study, we investigated the relationship between early temperament and neuronal network functional connectivity (FC), and how these factors contribute to the risk of psychopathology.

Methods

Using a longitudinal cohort followed from infancy to age 7 (N = 749 collected at infancy), we assessed temperament through two approaches: data-driven profiles extracted from parent-reported questionnaires collected from infancy to age 3 and lab-based assessments of behavioral inhibition (BI) at age 3. Symptoms of psychopathology were measured at age 7 with the parent-reported Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Resting-state EEG data collecte
